Delimitatively

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Delimitativ ( latin : delimitatus , "attenuated") is an aspect and describes a process that lasts for a certain time without any time limitation. There is the delimitative e.g. B. Basque and Russian .

Examples

Basque

The Basque language knows the delimitative. The example comes from the Basque language:

Arratsalde-ko bost-etan amai-Iu zitzaien ihardun-a.

Literally translated this sentence means afternoon five finished employment , which means in good German "In the afternoon at five o'clock the employment ended for you". Here the afternoon ( arratsalde-ko ) is in the derivative.

Russian

Russian also has the delimitation as an aspect. For example, the word читать (chitat) means “to read”, the delimitation of which почитать (potschitat) means “to read a little”.
